Chapter 438: Sword of Zlatibor Again

However, perhaps because the formation principles of the Demon Abyss Clan were completely different from those of Dao cultivators, the teleportation array that was extremely fragile by Dao cultivator standards, where even a Golden Core cultivator could casually attack it from outside and destroy it, proved extraordinarily sturdy against their attacks. Not to mention Golden Core cultivators, even the powerful attack spells and sword energy unleashed jointly by dozens of Spirit Transformation cultivators were all deflected by the formation’s demonic light.

Even the special spiritual energy refined by Xiao Shou through his Ninety Nine Calamities Cycles Art could not damage it in the slightest. Seeing this, everyone’s expressions turned solemn. Without exception, they began using their most powerful attack secret techniques, the kind they rarely used in front of others. Xiao Shou also focused his mind, summoned the Dark Night Spirit Sword, poured all his spiritual energy into it, and unleashed the complete Sword of Zlatibor with all his strength.

While everyone was preparing their powerful attacks, Xiao Shou controlled the Sword of Zlatibor in the sky, allowing it to absorb endless spiritual energy. By the time everyone’s attacks were once again deflected by the formation’s demonic light, the Sword of Zlatibor had absorbed enough spiritual energy for Xiao Shou to unleash an attack three times stronger than the one he had used against the Gou Family Patriarch. This was also the current limit of what Xiao Shou could control with his cultivation. If he wanted to increase the power of this sword technique any further, he would have to wait until his cultivation advanced again.

"The Sword of Zlatibor is about to descend. Everyone, retreat!" Xiao Shou transmitted his voice to the cultivators while controlling the sword technique as it descended. After speaking, he immediately grabbed Fu Young and teleported outside the sword’s effective range.

Everyone had come from the Heaven Origin Grand Competition venue, so they had naturally witnessed the power of the Sword of Zlatibor with their own eyes. When they heard the familiar yet even more powerful howling sound above their heads, they all retreated beyond the sword’s range. By the time Xiao Shou finished speaking, everyone had already moved far away. Only the demon soldiers surrounding the Demon Abyss teleportation array remained, staring incredulously at the enormous sword descending from the sky.

The retreating cultivators watched as Xiao Shou’s sword technique carried tremendous force, rubbing against the air, burning with spiritual energy, and sweeping up fierce waves of spiritual flames as it rapidly descended. When it crashed into the formation’s protective demonic light above the teleportation array, the two violently collided. In an instant, the armor piercing ability of the Dark Night Spirit Sword imbued within the Sword of Zlatibor pierced through the teleportation array’s defenses and plunged directly into the formation.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The instant it struck the ground, the Sword of Zlatibor immediately exploded under Xiao Shou’s control, blasting the Demon Abyss teleportation array into pieces. The violent storm of flames, after breaking through the teleportation array’s defenses, swept toward the demon soldiers guarding the surrounding area. Before they could react, these demon soldiers, who were like worker ants among the Demon Abyss Clan, were blasted into fragments and ashes that scattered across the surrounding area.

Their combined attacks had been unable to even penetrate the protective demonic light of the Demon Abyss teleportation array, yet this one man and one sword had actually blown the troublesome teleportation array to pieces. Not only that, he had also eliminated the demon soldiers that had continued teleporting over from the surrounding area. Watching this scene, everyone felt conflicted, yet they had no choice but to reassess Xiao Shou’s true strength once again.

Tushan Qing watched Xiao Shou’s performance from the distant sky throughout the entire operation and could not help sighing inwardly.

My precious baby’s abilities and aptitude are both quite good. Unfortunately, his temperament still needs more tempering. He has too much humanity and too little of the bearing of an immortal. That will not be good for the path ahead of him. When will he understand this? Or perhaps he should have understood it long ago but has simply been unwilling to give it up. If so, when will he finally be able to abandon that human nature?𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Xiao Shou had no idea that, besides Monk Tongchan, someone else was now worrying about his temperament. Seeing that his attack had achieved such an effect, a delighted expression immediately appeared on his face. He cheerfully grabbed Fu Young’s hand and asked, "How was it? Not bad, right?"

"Mm! Its offensive power is indeed extremely powerful. Master is amazing. I really can’t compare with Master!"

Looking at the expression on Xiao Shou’s face that clearly said, Look how amazing I am. Hurry up and praise me, Fu Young praised him without changing his expression. His praise was also completely sincere, his face full of earnestness, as though he had completely forgotten how his previous All Laws Forbidden technique had helped the cultivators annihilate so many demon soldiers.

Xiao Shou, who had been extremely happy just moments ago, could not help blushing when he heard this. He secretly wondered, Am I really not steady enough compared with my beloved disciple? Young’er destroyed all the demon soldiers on the battlefield with a single All Laws Forbidden technique!

Thinking of this, he sincerely praised him as well. "Young’er, don’t be modest. You’re very powerful too! There are many things your Master can’t compare with you in!"

Just as Xiao Shou was pondering whether he was steady enough while the master and disciple continued humbly praising each other, the Ninefold Elixir Gate Master and the others flew over to the two of them.

Although everyone felt conflicted inside, wondering whether this master and disciple were really cultivators at the same Spirit Transformation stage as themselves, they could not possibly have overlooked what had happened moments after the two of them had flown into the sky.

That enormous divine tree had been instantly brought forth.
